Some things never change. The sun will always rise in the east and set in the west. What goes up will always come down. Wicked on Broadway. And the annual posting of my Christmas list. As I look back on years past, I realize that really – I haven’t changed. Sure, it’s always a different perfume, skinny jeans have evolved into wide-leg, gold jewelry, then silver. But really, I still like what made the list 10 years ago – I’ve just gotten older. Just a little.
So here is the list for this year. I wonder how my 2013-self would feel about these items?
Ralph Lauren Teddy Bear Baseball Cap
This was on my list last year too. I really want something with the Ralph Lauren teddy bear and well, the ball cap is the least expensive item.
Gap × LoveShackFancy Floral Cropped Logo Hoodie
Gap has a collab with Love Shack Fancy which means this is really my only chance at owning something from the brand. If this sweatshirt isn’t 100% me then I don’t know what is!
Laura Mercier Cosmic Stars Caviar Stick Eye Color Trio
I’ve always wanted to own Caviar Sticks from Laura Mercier! This set comes with my favorite shade, Amethyst, and two additional gorgeous colors. It’s such a great deal.
I got a Nespresso machine last year for Christmas, but I am constantly running out of the pods! We have a storefront in Portland, but it’s pretty far away from me. More coffee, please!
Quince 100% Organic Cropped Cotton Polo Sweater
This is the perfect sweater. It is well-made, classic, flattering, and looks super soft. I really want it in like, every color.
MELO – The Original Marshmallow Sponge
I only want this because of the name. The idea of applying my foundation with a marshmallow makes me deliriously happy. You don’t have to get it.
Tyler Regal® – Glamorous Wash 64oz
This is one of those things I would NEVER buy for myself but I really want it. If you aren’t on Bama Rush TikTok then maybe you don’t know – but the Glamorous Wash from Tyler is apparently the end-all-be-all for laundry detergent. This new one in Regal is a dupe for Baccarat Rouge 540 and I really want my clothes to smell bougie. Too much to ask?
I have officially decided I want a Jellycat collection and what better to kick it off than this sweet lil piece of cake? So apropos! I also really need the Christmas ones, like the candy cane, snowflake, and star. If you’ve never gotten your mitts on a Jellycat, just run to the nearest Nordstrom or local toy store. They’re amazing.
And that concludes the list for 2023. Thank you, as always, for reading.
